why_me_why_notI've been overweight for like the past 20 years (I blame the boys - after I quit nursing Davey, I gained weight like crazy and then just never dropped it) but I've been relatively healthly with it. Last year, with the severe anemia and having to nap if I walked up/down the stairs and stuff, was miserable. I am genuinely excited to be able to do things like park at the back of the parking lot at the grocery store and take the stairs instead of the elevator and carry the dog/cat food in from the car on my own. Still overweight though. Well insulated for winter, I guess, but I've been having insane hot flashes and I don't even want to imagine what the summer is going to do to me.

Let’s talk about a Susan who never moved on, who buried her family in English soil and spent the rest of her life trying to find her way home. She did not believe lions were kind, but she always remembered a bow in her schoolgirl hands.
She looked in every old wardrobe she came across. It was casual, everyday– the first day in a new lecture hall, she checked the back of the coat closet. Friends had her over for Christmas dinner and she excused herself to go the bathroom, checked every cabinet and closet, and then headed back in for pudding. She went home with a cute boy she met in a smoky little pub and she checked his wardrobe before she headed home the next morning, heels in hand.
She also went to college, got a political science degree she had to fight for. She got a byline in the local paper, a few ladies’ magazines, then a larger regional publication.
She had mimosa brunches with friends. She read detective novels, never touched fantasy, and finally one day she stepped through an old stone archway barely thinking about it and–-
She was standing in a treeless plain, all yellow grass and blue blue skies.

This is so good that I don't even have words.
